Theodore Parker: Women | have
always regarded as the equal of man
more nicely speaking-the equiva-

inferior in some others; inferior in
the lower qualities, in the bulk of

nicer qualities; in the moral power

soul equal, on the whole, and of

A FATAL MISTAKE


of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
,ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
lhngement Of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
andin order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justifi.
able. Accordingly, ON the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
} had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
: in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
! and Nervous Prostitution (for
: this was what the disease really
: was), she would have been liv-
0 ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
4 Roofs, or SE1GEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
: pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
t. gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
e failed. The evidence of its
n efficacy in curing this class Of
/ cases is too voluminous to be
y published here; but those who
n read the published evidence in
}, favor of this dyspeptic remedy
~ do not question its convincing

CITY CRIMINAL COSTS.
The Police Court Makes Money
For the City.
TT TAKES NONE OF THE SA-
LOON MONEY TO PAY
COSTS.
Facts and Figures.

All ofthe prohibitionists in their
arguments against saloons in Mex
leo say that it takes. all of the
sc, 400 paid by these saloons to run
the Police Courts. They advance
this argument whenever asked how
the city could pay expenses and
add that ''the saloons are the cause
of the criminal cases and that it
takes the license money to pay the
costs of prosecuting the same" Of
course all who have investigated
the matter at all know better.
Take this weeks proceedings in
the City Court, for instance. There
have been ten cases this week.
One hundred and fifteen dollars
and forty cents were collected. At
ter the recorder, marshal, jurors,
witnesses, city attorney and all
other costs were paid, SOL in net
cash was paid into the city treasu-
ry. You will see from this that
these criminal cases not only do
not take any ofthe $1,000, paid as
license by the saloons, but actually
put money in the treasury. Every
criminal, whether plain drunk or
a decorated drunk with trimmings,
not only pays all of the costs of his
trial, but is forced to pay a liberal
net sum of cash into the city treas
ury. The fines this week were
paid into the treasury in hard cash.
Very often the prisoner has no
cash and has to go on the rock
pile. The city needs the work and
would have to hire it done, SO it
amounts to the same as cash. As
any one who will investigate can
see, there is absolutely nothing in
the argument claiming that the
$500 goes to pay for the crime
caused by the saloons which paw
that sum. There is no doubt but
what Mexico needs the $1,000. IN
der our present charter where
could we get it except from saloon
licenses? The $500 is spent for
and water and not for costs in
criminal cases.

Judge Young Fines Him in Two Cases
Three Other Cases Tried.
Yesterday afternoon George Gillespie was
tried before Judge Young in the police
court for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct. His story was that woman had
tried to cut him with hatchet and that he
had in self-defenSe knocked her down. The
story brought out on the trial was entirely
different from that. Ii seems that Gillespie
went to Mag McAlpin's place. and becOm-
ing obstreperous, was ordered out of the
house. He declared that if he had to 90
he would do up the house before he went.
and seizing a loaded cane struck one of the
girls on the nose. badly disiiguring her. He
was then hustled out of the house After
hearing this testimony Judge Young fined
Gillespie SIS and costs. In another case
of diSOrderly conduct he was fined S. and
costs. Had the affidavit in the first case
charged Gillespie with assault, which was
the proper charge under the circumstances,
Judge Young says he would have sent him
10 the Dayton work house sure. Another
charge of disOrderly conduct it pending
against him. Gillespie declares that unless

pays his fines he will ''blow" on him.

He Was Right.

Hon. Alfred p. Edgertou, Chairman
Of the Civil Service Commission, re-
Gently took occasion 10 give n young
lady healthy piece Of advice which
we cannot refrain from publishing.
The Baltimore Obronicie relates II as
follows:
A few DAYS ago Civil Service Com
missioner Edgerton put young lady
candidate through an examination that
she did not bargain for. The young
lady came into his office with face as
red as f1IlblOwn rose. But on close
examination the civil service commits
sioner, who, although old in years is
young In sight and heart, discovered
that this rosy hue was secured by paint
and powder. Mr.. Edgerton hates any
thing unnatural or artificial, and he
looked at the young lady for awhile,
and asked her If she ever expected to
have husband. The young lady was
rather startled at the question, but re-
piled, "Certainly." 'HFhen," replied
Mr.. Edgerton, "if l was young man
and calling to see you, would prefer
to see your face. Do you suppose a
man is going to fight his way through
the powder and paste on your cheeks
when he wants to kiss your face? No,
miss; the young man wants the true
article, not a mouthful of paint and
powder. You have good complexion,
good color and skin; why do you plaster
yourself up with this stuff? Use soap
and water and you will find the young
men will like you better. When l was
young the girls were natural and did
not daub their faces all over with this
stuff." .a.a.r- .t-.
Mr.. Edgerton could we'll say the
above, because his years allowed him
to speak, and after few minutes OF
thought, the young girl thanked the
civil service commissioner for his advice
and said hereafter she would use only
soap and water. She kept her word,
| for she called on him a day or two later
and looked as fresh as a daisy, without
the trace of paint or powder. III
